CGIAR confirms its participation in the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC). As a global research partnership focused on transforming food, land, and water systems in a climate crisis, CGIAR is committed to supporting the sustainable use and conservation of ocean and aquatic resources. WorldFish, the CGIAR Center leading research on aquatic food systems at UNOC focuses on exploring synergies between ocean action, food system resilience, and climate adaptation, while reinforcing our commitment to advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference will take place from June 9–13, 2025, in Nice, France, co-hosted by the Governments of France and Costa Rica. Under the theme “Accelerating action and mobilizing all actors to conserve and sustainably use the ocean,” the conference will convene world leaders, scientists, policymakers, and civil society to address pressing threats to the ocean—from marine pollution and overfishing to acidification and biodiversity loss.
